HELLO, In simple words, your stomach digestion has become weak with age Normally -food should stay in the stomach 2-4 hours -then it should move smoothly into the intestine In your case -food stays longer in stomach -it starts fermenting -this produces gas -gas moves upward-> belching, burping -acid also moves upard-> acid reflux ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA AGNI (DIGESTIVE FIRE) IS WEAK With age, Agni naturally becomes Mandagni (slow) so food is -not digested properly -not moved downward properly AMA (toxic, undigested matter) forms This ama -causes heaviness -produces gas -irritates the stomach lining VATA + PITTA IMBALANCE -Vata causes gas, bloaitng, delayed emptying -Pitta causes acidity, sour belching, reflux This condition is called Ajeerna with urdwaga amlapita Meaning -Indigestion -avid moving upward instead of downward TREATMENT GOALS -strengthen digestion -digest ama -correct movement of gas downward -calm excess acid safely -prevent recurrence INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/4 tsp before lunch and dinner with warm water for 6 weeks -stimulates weak digestion, removes gas, improves stomach emptying, prevents food stagnation 2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp at bedtime with warm water for 6 weeks =neutralizes excess acid, prevents reflux at night, gentle bowel regulation 3) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp at night with warm water =keeps bowel clean, reduces pressure on stomach, prevents reflux 4) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp once daily morning with lukewarm milk =ccols stomach lining, protects against acid damage ,safe for elderly EXTERNAL TREATMENT 1) OIL MASSAGE -warm sesame oil -gentle abdominal circular massage -3-4 times per week =pacifies vata, improves gut movement, relieves bloaitng DIET -warm food, fresh food,soft well cooked food -rice, soft chapati -moong dal -bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd -stewed apple, ripe banana -buttermilk lunch only, diluted AVOID -tea,coffee -fried food -bakery foods - curd at night -raw onion -tomato, citrus fruits -cold water HOW TO EAT -eat slowly -chew well -stop before full stomach -sit upright after meals -no lying down for 2-3 hours HOME REMEDIES -Jeera Dhanya water= sip warm- gas reduction, digestion improvement -Ajawain + rock salt= after meals - immediate relief from burping -Amla powdr= 1 tsp in morning with warm water- controls acid naturally LIFESTYLE -early dinner -walk 15-30 min daily -sleep on left side -maintain routine AVOID -day sleep after meals -late night eating -skipping meals -stress while eating YOGA ASANAS -vajrasana -pawamuktasana -gentle bhujangasana PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= 5-7 min -Sheetali= if burning is present DURATION OF TREATMENT AND EXPECTATIONS -Relief in 2-3 weeks -Digestion improves in 4-6 weeks -Full stabilisation in 2-3 months This Is curable and manageable, but requires discipline Gilbert ji, Your problem is not dangerous, nut neglect can worsen it Ayurevda works gently and deeply, especially suitable for your age If digestion becomes strong -acid automatically reduces -gas disappear -reflux stop Treat the root, not just the symptoms DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.

Hello Mr. Gilbert, I get why you’re not feeling great. At 71, food hanging around in your stomach, all that belching, and acid reflux isn’t just a bit of acidity. It probably means your digestion isn’t working so well. But don’t worry, we can fix this gently and safely. YOUR CONCERN –71 years old –Problems: -Food sits in your stomach too long -Lots of burping - Acid reflux/heartburn -Feel heavy after eating What Ayurveda Says This is called Ajeerna with Urdhwaga Amlapitta basically indigestion causing acid reflux. This happens because: – As you get older, things slow down. – Your digestion gets weaker. – Food sits and makes gas and acid. So, antacids will only help for a little bit. We need to make your digestion stronger and get things moving properly. What to Do About It 1. Help Stomach Empty Hingwashtak Churna: 1/2 teaspoon before meals with warm water. Helps your stomach move things along and stops gas. 2. Stop Acid Reflux Avipattikar Churna: 1/2 teaspoon after meals with warm water. Cools down excess acid and stops heartburn. 3. Make Digestion Stronger Trikatu Churna 1/4 teaspoon before meals with honey. Gets your digestion fired up again without causing irritation. 4. Help at Night ** Triphala Churna** 1/2 teaspoon at bedtime. Keeps things moving so gas doesn’t build up. DIET PLAN (Super Important!)** ❌AVOID –Tea, coffee –Fried stuff – Curd –Cheese –Big dinners –Late-night meals – Cold water ✅INCLUDE – Warm cooked food – Rice, dal, khichdi (Indian lentil and rice dish) –Vegetable soups – Ginger –Cumin – Sips of warm water Eat small meals every 3–4 hours. No big platefuls! Sleep and How You Sit – Don’t lie down right after eating. – Keep your head a bit higher when you sleep. When You’ll Feel Better – Burping less: 5–7 days – Reflux better: 2 weeks –Stomach working right: 3–4 weeks This is very safe, even at your age. You don’t have to put up with feeling bad. Your stomach can work like it should again. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Ayurvedic Remedies for Acid Reflux & Acidity Cold Milk: Sipping cold milk on an empty stomach provides immediate relief from burning sensations.
